Yep, and she ends up with nothing but her memories of a broken dream.

Yep, of course Nikolaj and Dasha wouldn't fear her, but for their siblings, including Fred who is Irina's favorite target.

Indeed, and she wouldn't even be able to face that, so she'd slowly lose everything taht is left of her sanity.

Of course, Nikolaj especially, since he'd just feel like he has the reponsibility of keeping the others safe, would have a passive fear of his mom and would try to fix things up just a tiny bit by talking to her, although it obviously wouldn't work.

And I'm sure her new husband might leave since Irina will become a declawed and defanged lion after words.

Yes sadly, while Irina liked Nikolaj more because he is like her in a few ways, she does't realize that her first born hates her the most.

He would leave her, but he'd certainly get back to her because he'd need her around. Second choice or not, he does love her, and although he wishes she'd just forget Grigorij, he'd be quite content go be by her side, especially after the kids are gone.

Indeed, she really did love Nikolaj as a baby, being her first born, and Nikolaj would love her back like a child would, but it just didn't last very long on his part, and nobody could blame him for that.
He'd just try his best to get back in touch with her, but she'd be either violent or apathetic towards him, and he'd hate it. He just grew up hating what she did and her herself, and he wouldn't change just because his mom would tell him she still likes him.

Right, but he knows deep down he will never really have Irina's love.

Yeah because the way she treats him at times and his siblings, including Fred is inexcusable and now knowing his mother threatened to kill him and his siblings to threaten his father, he would hate her even more.

Indeed, he's aware of that and he's always been, but he's content by simply fooling himself and Irina would obviously let him live in his lie anyway.

Exactly, Nikolaj would just hate her for everything she has done, and although he tried to understand her in the past, he'd just ignore her and push her away by now, because he'd just be so tired of her acting and her abuse towards them all.

Yes because she wants to keep manipulating him because now that her kids are gone she only has him left.

Yes, because there will be nothing to tall about with her because she keeps pushing people away, abuse and lie to people. And Nikolaj knows she will keep doing that and live in her own reality until the day she dies.

Exactly, and although their relationship wouldn't be a proper healthy one, she'd just pretend that it is and would use him and manipulate him in every way, especially now that he can't confuse her with the kids anymore either.

Indeed, and Nikolaj would be way too tired of that, since he had to deal with it for a long time, so even if he did try to talk with her for a little bit if they ever met again, even if he hates her, he'd just gave up within a short time because he wouldn't want to deal with her and her hatred.
